NCR Podcast: The communion of saints (and souls)

NCR contributor Melissa Musick Nussbaum talks about liturgical traditions that remember the dead and how Catholics can start their own traditions to remember loved ones gone before them. Later, Fr. Christopher DeGiovine reflects on the month of November as a period of remembrance. He shares inspiration from Scripture and other Catholic thinkers as well as his thoughts as a pastor on the great mystery of life after death.
